Events and news from Aix-en-Provence

June Events in and around Aix

As usual in June, so many events, some regular, others new – here goes:

Talented local artist Jill Steenhuis will be showing her colourful Impressionistic paintings along with sculptures by her husband and son, Serge and Sergio Ruffato in the ancient rooms of the Galerie de la Prevoté off the Place de l’Archeveché. Friday 9th June-Wednesday 21st June, daily 10-19:00. http://www.artinprovence.com.

This one looks interesting – an exhibition of the work of Antoine Serra, who was born in Sardinia, brought up in Marseille, and finished up living and working in Mouries. It will be at the Musée Melik which is in the atmospheric old chateau perched above Cabries. Worth a visit. Vernissage 10th June 18:00. Exhibition runs until 1st October.

and this fun event, Guinguette Cézanne,which takes you back to a beautiful Sunday in 1899 by the river Arc. This ‘spectacle son et lumières’ is organised by the excellent Association Histoires d’Aix et de Provence. What fun.
